Why is everyone saying “blabla why it’s always the bad guy with a dark skin” when th...

Because whether in fiction or reality, no one wants their skin tone to be misrepresented, or portrayed in a negative light?? In today’s social climate, that stuff’s kinda obvious. Besides, pointing it out doesn’t take away from the overall story, its just something people notice

Okay but the dark skinned guy isn't bad because he’s dark skinned is what I mean. Everyone is treating it as if it was intentional and like? Dark skinned people can’t be villains because if they are then it’s racism? Like he’s portrayed in a negative light for sure but his skin color as nothing to do with this. I got your point and it’s true there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that fact but I think complaining about that is pointless unless the character is really made to mock the skin color or ethnicity. No point in creating problems. I prolly sound like a bitch but I just don’t want people to bash authors because of that since it seems like what people are into these days.

I think people are especially sensitive to the issue because colorism is such a huge issue in East Asian cultures. Not to mention, countries like Japan or Korea are a monolith, so they are not used to the diversity like other places are. I agree though, not every instance like this is an example of racism. Actually, whenever I see a darker-skinned character, I just assume they’re tanned, not another race. I think knowing how dark skin is perceived in certain countries can make a reader uncomfortable, thats all

Indeed, there’s a lot of issues about it. But yeah same, I also assume that they are tanned, and it’s true that it can make people uncomfortable, for example there’s this manga where the female lead had her skin color turn white because she got holy power or sumn and this made me really uncomfortable (though the situation was handled well with the FL’s showing everyone’s hypocrisy since everyone started loving her bc of her skin/holy power) .

Since 99.99% of evil villains in manga/manhua are white, I’m the opposite. When I see a dark skinned person being evil, I notice it only because it’s rare.
